# Enable Support for MedDRA Queries in Submission Rules

Learn how to update your Vault to enable extended support for submission rules in MedDRA queries.

## About the Feature

MedDRA Queries (SMQs and CMQs) can be used to determine if a case should be reportable in order to support situations such as "Lack of Efficacy" or customer-managed lists of non-reportable terms. 

Vaults created in 22R1 or later include the necessary configuration by default, while Vaults originally deployed earlier than 22R1 must have the configuration upgrades described on this page to enable this feature.
